Tech Collaborations ECH has established and ongoing partnerships with the Goldilocks smart clothing brand and the University of Adelaide, and with Lateral Vision and the University of South Australia to develop smart garments and 360-video virtual environments for aging in place. This shows a strong openness to piloting innovative aging-tech solutions. Opportunities include wearable sensors and data workflows, VR-based caregiver training, telehealth integration, and joint pilots to demonstrate ROI.

Regional Leader As one of South Australia’s largest integrated retirement village and in-home care providers, ECH represents a sizeable, mission-driven customer with complex operational needs. There is opportunity to offer a scalable care management platform, scheduling and workforce management, CRM and consumer engagement, and robust data and security services for long-term partnerships.

Home Care Growth ECH focuses on independent living, at-home services and wellness, signaling demand for home-based care technology such as remote patient monitoring, telehealth, caregiver apps, and integrated wellness platforms that connect village care with at-home services.

Inclusive Care ECH emphasizes inclusivity across CALD, LGBTI and Indigenous communities, suggesting a need for multilingual and accessible interfaces, culturally aware care content, and DEI training tools. This creates opportunities for multilingual portals, accessibility features, and DEI-aligned engagement platforms.
